Pssst. @DarkEden is streaming again.

https://www.twitch.tv/darkeden21

She's a small trans fem streamer & is currently streaming "Dread X Collection 2", which I believe is some kind of horror game.

Note to self:

Either make a neurodivergent heart emoji or find an existing one to add to the #CultOfShiv server.

FAO #CultOfShiv denizens

I've done a quick emoji update.

The Google Noto Color Emoji ones I've added have been re-added with new shortcodes.

I've uploaded all the new Twemoji unicode emojis.

Any issues or other stuff you wish me to add, please just let me know :PinkHeart:

#emoji #emojis #Twemoji #NotoColorEmoji #NotoEmoji

Emoji poll for my fellow denizens on #CultOfShiv.

I added some of the common unicode 15 emojis from the Google Noto Color Emoji font, as Twemoji 15 wasn't available & anyone stuck on Windows 10 wouldn't have access to these otherwise.

However, Twemoji 15 has just dropped. I'd like to remove the Google ones & replace with Twemoji ones.

I'd like your approval to do so, as it's replacing emojis, rather than just adding them.

Just realised I completely forgot to announce that I added a couple more custom emojis to our instance.

Feel free to copy them to your own.

:SexWorkerRedUmbrellaSymbol: for all the amazing sex workers out there
:SapphicHeart: for all the lovely sapphics out there

Signed, your emoji mistress

FAO all lovely folks on the #CultOfShiv

I've made some further tweaks to our custom emojis. These are broadly:

- Changing some emoji short codes to make them more descriptive & accessible for people using screen readers.
- Changing the emoji category for the Cult Of Shiv to make it more descriptive.
- Adding new categories for Twemoji & Google Noto Color Emoji.
- Adding some common emojis missing from devices that haven't been updated to unicode 15 emoji.

Love from your emoji mistress 💟

@AlwaysAutumn I could ask a couple of lovely ladies from the #CultOfShiv to pass on their experiences, if you'd like :TransHeart:

I can alternatively advise where people tend to go if they're looking for the current best surgeons/ clinics, if you're not sure where or whom to ask :TransHeart:

Not necessarily in this order

@Auri @FrazzledBrynn It's the #CultOfShiv server, run by our lovely leader @DarkEden

N.B., It's not actually a cult.

PSA

If I ever do a poor job on #AltText, please do make specific suggestions on how I can improve.

I want my posts to be accessible to everyone, not just sighted folks :DisabilityPrideHeart:

It's the same reason behind why I'm gradually updating the emoji short codes on the #CultOfShiv to be more descriptive :DisabilityPrideButterfly:

FAO fellow cultists

I've added more blob blåhaj custom #emojis to the #CultOfShiv instance.

I've tried to make the names for these as descriptive as possible for #accessibility purposes.

I've just added the amazing new pride butterfly custom emojis by the epic @FrazzledBrynn to the #CultOfShiv instance 🥰

PSA

I've just edited the emoji short codes for the pride butterflies (made by the amazing @FrazzledBrynn) on our instance.

They should hopefully be more descriptive now for screen readers.

How does this neurodiversity infinity symbol emoji look?

FAO lovely cultists on the Cult of Shiv instance

I've just finished tinkering with the emoji hearts to make the names more descriptive. This should help make them more accessible to people who use screen readers.

I've also make the disability pride heart & the intersex inclusive pride hearts rounded like the others.

@CriticalCupcake She's already in the #CultOfShiv. Maybe I should just offer her an invite? 🤭

Pssst. In case you haven't seen, @DarkEden is streaming Stellaris.

Jus' sayin' 🥺👉👈

The #CultOfShiv instance is linked directly to the Cult Of Shiv Discord (aka the #Shivcord), which is owned & run by the amazing @DarkEden.

If you're not already following Shiv on Twitch, I highly recommend doing so. She's lovely.

https://www.twitch.tv/darkeden21

She gives out the Discord invite link regularly for viewers in the stream chat.

There's no active recruitment, so the Shivcord just grows slowly & sustainably.

Forewarning / heads up for the lovely cultists of the #CultOfShiv.

The admin team is going to be looking at our emojis on the instance in order to broadly:

• Ensure all emoji names are more accessible to people using screen readers.
• Copy the emojis from the Discord to the instance.
• Add new emojis.
• Putting groups of comic emojis into suitable categories.

Please be advised that this will break emojis in older posts when we do this, so apologies in advance for this 😔

@PoggleRebecca Shall definitely do 🥰

I'll probably suggest an event in the #CultOfShiv when we know the exact date 😊
